Horoscope: September 5

Moon Alert
We have the “all clear” today to shop (whether you spend $10 or $10 million) and make important decisions but only until 2:45 p.m. EDT. The Moon is in Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
You’re full of wonderful ideas today! All exchanges with others, especially co-workers and customers, will be enriching because your mind is in high gear. It’s a very good day for all kinds of metal work. (Refrain from criticizing others.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a fun-loving, playful day! Many of you feel prankish and ready for practical jokes. You’re happy inside your own skin today. You know you don’t need to justify everything you do or say – if you want it, you want it. That’s all.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Family discussions or discussions about real estate are lively today! However, this is also a good day to contemplate your childhood and early memories. You might see something from your past that helps to solve something in your present.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This is a great day for intellectual activities, especially discussions with neighbours, siblings and relatives. You’ll enjoy short trips. This is not the day to settle down and relax. Get out and do something! You’re on the ball with negotiations and business deals.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You might be full of good money-making ideas today. Why not jot some down? Many of you will be concerned with business and commercial affairs and taking care of business. Others will feel the need to define their sense of values when talking to friends.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You might have a strong urge to get out and travel now. You certainly have an urge to communicate to others or enlighten them about something. Don’t worry if your mind jumps from topic to topic today. (This is because you are intellectually revved up.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Another good day for research for your sign. You might prefer working alone or behind the scenes because you feel a bit like withdrawing from others. Something could occur that makes you become more in touch with your hidden side or your unconscious drives. (Verrrry interesting.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is an excellent day to think about your goals and expectations in life. The more specifically you define what you want to achieve in the future, the more likely they will become a reality. It’s important to know this. Don’t be vague. Be specific and give yourself deadlines with these goals as well.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a good day to talk to bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs, as well as the police. Essentially, you will impress authority figures because you sound intelligent and you also sound like you know what talking about. You might want to undertake a new study that helps your career.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Make travel plans today because you’re keen to expand your world! This is also a great day to converse with others from different backgrounds or foreign countries because you want to learn more and expand your knowledge. Travel will be the ultimate pleasure.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today you’ll be quite effective wrapping up loose details regarding wills, inheritances, estates, banking, taxes, debt and anything to do with shared property. You have the focus and stamina to get these things done – and you have the energy! Just roll up your sleeves and get busy.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Discussions with partners and close friends are very lively, once again! Something you might want to remember: Too often, what makes us discontented with our condition is the absurdly exaggerated idea we have about the happiness of others. All couples struggle.
